Gus, Harry, and Archie, three husbands with families in suburban New York, are shaken when their best friend suddenly dies of a heart attack. Unable to return to work after the funeral, they take off on a weekend-long debauch, with way too much drinking and loose women. In the process, they have lengthy heart-to-hearts about the nature of friendship, manhood, and marriage, among other things.
As strong an example of Cassavetes's improvisational art as any of his films, this film may test your patience with his indulgent treatment of actors, allowing them to explore their characters on film. Sometimes they come up empty, but more often, they find precious moments and revelations. And these three guys play off each other like long-time partners in a high-wire game of chicken in which they all emerge as winners. — Marshall Fine

About this "Extended Cut" version:
Cassavetes had to cut the film by nearly an hour and a half to get it down to the contractual length of a hundred and forty minutes, but Columbia, the studio that produced the film, nonetheless cut another eleven minutes (restored in this DVD) during its first run, in 1970, in response to negative reviews (including one from Pauline Kael, in this magazine) and audience walkouts. Unsurprisingly, the troubled reception signals the film’s virtues: this formally radical, deeply personal work still packs plenty of surprises. — Richard Brody, The New Yorker
